“This will indeed be a rare show, for most of our novelties and original plays are adaptations and importations, sometimes third and fourth hand at that. But now we are advised beforehand that the forthcoming play is entirely original, and that it will be produced with the usual care that marks the production of fresh pieces at this house.”
